But what about the 2.4G channels? This is the one I'd like to use here, and
this is the one which is used with the correct firmware...

wlan0	  IEEE 802.11abg  ESSID:"<not reported on this list>"
	  Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.417 GHz
	  Bit Rate=54 Mb/s   Tx-Power=15 dBm   
          Retry min limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr=2352 B   
          Power Management:off

Will test with CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY soon. Best,
